    Find out system info?

    Hi, I've recently switched from XP to Xubuntu and I'm used to right clicking [my computer] (I think thats what it was, two weeks off XP and I'm already forgetting things ) and finding out my Computer model, version of XP, etc. etc. Is there a way to do this in Ubuntu? If it requires installing a program I don't really mind, as long as it doesn't take up too much space...

    I dont think XFCE has something like that, but its been a while since I used it.
    I suggest you install sysinfo, or ubuntu tweak.

    remember kiddies: sudo rm -rf= BAD!, if someone tells you to do this, please ignore them unless YOU WANT YOUR SYSTEM WIPED

    +1 for hardinfo (apturl link, click the link to install it), it's a GUI application that displays information about your hardware.

    Once installed go to Xfce4 menu -> System -> System Profiler and Benchmark to run it.
